Oklahoma Hay Market Report

Alfalfa and hay trade trending lower this week.  Triple digit temperatures have 
producers worried about yields.  Rain has been limited across most of the state 
and as the drought monitor rises, fields are beginning to show the effects.  
Many producers are choosing to cut early and take a loss on overall tonnage.  
Heavy supplies remain this week causing demand to be light.

Market News continues to maintain an online hay directory for both in-
state and out-of-state hay producers.  The directories are on the ODAFF 
homepage at www.oda.state.ok.us. Producers wishing to list hay are 
encouraged to call at 1-405-232-5425 or email OklahomaCity.LPGMN@usda.gov.
